About the staff

Jason Edge (owner / practitioner)
Level 5 Diploma Remedial Massage Therapy
​
Hi, I'm Jason and I'm the owner/practitioner here at Parallax Therapies. After a first career as a high school teacher, I retrained as a massage therapist and personal trainer and became the owner of a gym and health club in the UK. Since moving to Australia, I undertook additional training before practicing from several clinics in Canberra. And now, having recently moved to Tasmania, I have set up a practice here in Riverside, serving the local community.
I discovered the benefits of massage many years ago and am now delighted to be sharing and passing those benefits on to others. Combining my background in education, massage and personal training, my aim is to provide informed and effective therapeutic treatments as well as offering extensive aftercare advice on strengthening exercises, stretches and mobility work where appropriate.
About Massage
Massage has been around for millennia. Ancient Greek, Chinese and Indian civilizations were all aware of the benefits of massage. Today, although still grouped with alternative medicines, it is increasingly recognised and prescribed by traditional allopathic practitioners as a viable and effective part of an holistic healthcare program. Some of its wide ranging physical and emotional benefits include:
-
relief from pain
-
reduced muscle tension
-
reduced inflammation
-
reduced anxiety and depression
-
reduced DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) after training
-
improved flexibility and mobility
-
improved circulation
-
promotion of overall relaxation
